HUMMERcustoms.com/TAZ is off the scale
Default Re: FINALLY...Taz's H2

Hey it appears The Beastly Beauty is someplace besides at the shop by the looks of the scoop pic. Dragon must be driving Her home. But, could be the bays were all full and He just absolutely had no choice but to drive that bad girl home and park her in the garage. Dragon did You get the boost gauge and air/fuel working? You better not be out romping on it and burning up the rice rockets without being able to watch her vitals. You may have forgotten We have the 12lb. boost pulley on the Beast. So be careful You can get in a bad situation pushing it very hard with the methanol injection system off. You could put some of the race fuel We have in the back with 93 octane and that would help give more protection. But, You have some protection. I have the 5lb. tune in at this time and not the HPTUNERS.com custom tune in. That way it will retard the timing giving a margin of safety if You or I are lead footing it to much. But would feel safer if boost and air/fuel gauges were working.

Seriously though, I know You have a plan to do some more upgrades this week and next on interior as well as some body stuff so I bet You took the girl home to give big Nick a ride to church. You can't start to soon getting Our boy use to power. We need to get started on designing Nick's cart racing rig. They have a class for 4 and 5 year olds. Don't tell Moma know yet though. Motorsports and HUMMERcustoms needs to figure Our sponsor budget for Nick the man.

Oh, I almost forgot to mention to all My forum Buds. I just found out a few weeks ago I'm going to be a Grandpa at 49 well 50 by time baby gets here.. Some of You knew about the miscarriage My oldest had last year and they had been told they may not be able to have kids so God proved all wrong and My eldest Girl is getting a belly more all the time. They moved to Nashville a few weeks ago and found a new Doc and test were run again and for second time confirmed I will be a grandpappi for the first time.

I married My youngest off in June the same day as Motorsports annual car show which will most likely have to move to county fair grounds but, at least some place bigger. Man was i running around allot that day. Being at the show till 1pm and leave to get to wedding at 3pm then drive them off in The Beastly Beauty as My little girl said the heck with a limo. I got a show winning, butt hauling H2 to be driven off in. I could careless about a Limo so, that is what We did. Had a big, well 2 or 3 big ole football playin country boys stand outside and guard The Beast so no one not only touched the Girl but did not even get close to her. But, to be fair We let people at shows look in and usually let the little kids get up in the drivers seat. It is them We want to inspire to like and get invovled someday into showing cars and trucks or what ever they want to build. Maybe just inspire them to save up for a good old model Hummer and restore it or just take it to the woods like they do old pickup trucks now and just off road and beat them up.

Dragon it sure appears The Beast is parked in an area with a really low ceiling that would not be a shop ceiling. But, anyway He knows it is Ok to keep in His garage so he can keep all the shop crud off and out of inside of the girl as much as possible. Thanks pardner for looking after Our girl. Just be careful and not drive it to much.

Thanks everyone that again PM'd Me recently after this thread started to encourage Me and reminding Me that allot of You do not forget the battle I have fought for as long as i have known most of the long time members that have become my Buds and for as long as I have been a member.

Hey partsguy I will be coming into Pittsburg possibly this next weekend on a business deal so if You want me to drive a SUT back to start on a slant back I could do that. But, really Dragon would need to OK as He is not quite ready to add that project yet and yes He will need a doner KenP unless H2's keep going down it may get tempting to buy an SUT myself. I have been ahocked by prices on Ebay and My own dealer trying to talk Me into getting a new H2. He is nutts as he knows i will not part wih My girl. I told them if they want to donate one as a sponsorship for Us to lift and add all the off-road stuff and change paint job We could do that and take it to shows as daily driver to promote the dealership. I had that idea in the back of My head for a little while but, just could not so far bring Myself to spend that much again with them losing value so fast and so badly. I may wait till they find a bottom on price fall.

I have been wanting to buy the new Challenger when it is ready to order. I have a young man i mentored in business and other things and basiclly have been Uncle Rick his whole life. He now owns a Chrysler, Jeep, and Dodge dealership and He has me on top of list to order a Challenger..

So if anyone is getting any pre-release info on this car please PM Me and fill me in more. I have some info but, very little slipping out so far. I know if anyone can get the low down on a vehicle it is the members of this Forum. So please help me out as to what I want to order and anything special to order. What colors are going to be offered. I alteady know I will get a Hemi but, just how bad they will make the power depends on if i buy their power or just buy more of a base engine then Dragon and I will add the HP/torque ourselves.

Thanks all for well wishs
TAZ
